Artemisia was one of the first women artists to have an international recognition. However it did not come easy because she was born in a time period when women were not considered equal to men. Being an artist was not something a woman was supposed to do. Although her talent was much greater than most male artists of her era, she was brushed aside just because of her gender. “Gentileschi’s gestures are far more expansive than many contemporary or later self-portraits by male artists of themselves

Artemisia Gentileschi’s (1593-1653) Self Portrait as La Pittura (c. 1630)[Fig. 1] does something that no other painting before that point had been able to do: combine the artist with the allegorical figure of painting, La Pittura, as outlined in Cesare Ripa’s Iconologia. Because she was a woman, Gentileschi was able to create an image of herself that also simultaneously represented the allegorical figure of painting, legitimizing her identity as an artist in a way unavailable to men.

Though often labelled as the “Final Frontier” the prospect of colonizing and living in space may not be as far-fetched as it once seemed. Modern technology and innovation may soon make it so that we can venture where “no one has gone before.” However, the prospect of colonization in space brings up several concerns. Would our social order be able to carry on in such a foreign environment? And if so, would culturally ingrained ideas such as sexism as a result of widely held notions of specific gender
